As a concealed pistol permit holder and a retiree from law enforcement, I firmly believe that people with pistol permits or in possession of long guns who are diagnosed with PTSD or other mental problems and are receiving VA or Social Security disability should have their permits rescinded and weapons removed from their possession until cleared by a physician or counselor of these disabilities. The public has a right to be protected from people with mental problems in possession of weapons.

A week ago I said that if these minor distractions Kushner is cooking up don’t put an end to the Trump-Russia connection investigation I wouldn’t be surprised if they started a war. They’d go that far. Now 59 Tomahawk missiles have hit Syria under the pretext of women and children killed by chemical warfare. Thousands have been killed over the last six years but Trump has said over and over not to go in. I don’t believe that all of a sudden Trump is full of empathy. I think he’s full of something, but not empathy.

Thanks to Sound-Off, I can get this off my chest. Why did they take The Amazing Race and put it on at 10 p.m., when it’s such a good family fun program to watch, and they have all these other mysteries with shooting and killing people?

It looks like these idiots in Washington want to do away with everything to do with health insurance, like hospital stay, ambulance, maternity, pre-existing conditions. Everything that you have insurance for they want to do away with. They’re going after the seniors like anything. We’re going to have to pay higher and higher co-pays to protect some illegal alien. Yet they want to do away with everything you buy insurance for, that we really need.

President Trump blames Obama’s policy for the gas attack in Syria. How about blaming it on his buddy Putin, who’s in there with the Russian air force blowing up anything they like, because they know Trump won’t do a thing about it?

I have a solution for the bathroom problem. Why not have three stalls: one male, one female and one “other?”

This is in reference to Spectrum. They took This off, the second-best movie channel on television, that I used to watch every day, and replaced it with some B.S. program. Do you mind telling me why they took it off? And please, when you send our bills out, include a number for a person we can talk to. I don’t have a touch-tone phone. Old people are not as rich as people think they are.

The warmongers who want us to attack Syria are at it again. They told us that Assad gassed his people a few years ago, but that turned out to be false, as proven by Seymour Hersh and the British government. This is just another false-flag, and they want us to take down Syria.

The job thing was in and the economy for Trump from January-March were all high and up, and all the businessmen gave approval. Job creation, all that stuff is up and everyone is happy. Not like that rookie we had in there for eight years and never got above 2 percent. He ruined our armed forces, our jets can’t fly because he defunded these people. He tried to change this country right in front of our eyes, but this is a breath of fresh air under Donald Trump, and things are going to get better.

I hope I heard wrong that our state politicians are still trying to come to an agreement to give our poor healthcare workers in our healthcare facilities a raise in the minimum wage. Walk in their shoes. They should be paid more than politicians. Go to a healthcare facility and watch how these people work all day. I saw it first hand when one of my parents was in a facility. They got absolutely wonderful care thanks to the wonderful caregivers….If anyone deserves a raise, they do, and the minimum wage needs to be raised.

It should bother everyone when they see the type of people who intentionally don’t remove items from under shopping carts at supermarkets and are actually stealing with no care in the world for what they’re doing.

Let’s hope that we Americans are not careless enough or foolish enough to buy into this Trump technique: every time they start to investigate him, he starts to point fingers with no proof at other people, especially in the Obama administration. This is how it’s done in authoritarian governments. Trump will probably gin up a war next. Letting the wealthy run the country like this has ended badly before in American history. It’s sometimes called an oligarchy or kleptocracy, and these guys could end American democracy as we know it.

The weasel Schumer said he was going to fight Trump all the way and wasn’t going to help him. Now that they’re pulling this nuclear thing, he wants to work together with the other side. What a weasel he is.
